AN UNDERSTANDING LOUISVILLE IMMIGRATION LAWYER

For those facing deportation or removal from the United States, I am their fierce advocate. I understand that this is a very stressful experience for everyone involved. With Daniel Alvarez, you will receive highly competent and professional representation and know that EVERYTHING has been done to bring about a positive outcome for yourself or a loved one. First, I strongly recommend anyone facing immigration issues NOT to try and go it alone. You need a lawyer experienced in immigration matters. I am also a fluent Spanish-speaking lawyer.

EXPEDITION AND REMOVAL

Removal Proceedings are the way non-U.S. citizens also known as aliens or non-citizens are either expelled or prevented from entering the United States. Usually, an immigration judge determines whether one is admissible or deportable. But in the Expedited Removal or Administrative Removal process, no judge is needed. This is why it is extremely important that you contact me so we can successfully stop this process. In an Expedited Removal, an immigration officer alone may determine you are inadmissible, usually based on documentation or misrepresentation claims. But if, for example, there are credible fears of persecution in your homeland you must be given a hearing. Also, special procedures exist for those convicted of crimes. It can be helpful to have an attorney, such as myself, already comfortable with criminal defense issues handle your immigration issues if criminal charges are making things more complicated and challenging.

ASYLUM CLAIM PROTECTION

The United States offers special consideration to those who do not want to return to their native country out of concern for their safety or persecution issues. If you are facing removal or deportation and need to file a political asylum claim, I can help.
